Global climate change is one of the most important and pressing challenges faced by our planet, and refrigerants are some of the most potent greenhouse gases ever created. Older refrigerants can have global warming potentials (GWP) more than ten thousand times an equivalent mass of carbon dioxide.
We buy eligible refrigerant gases from individuals, businesses and municipalities, instead of charging fees for handling and disposal. This provides an incentive for owners of old refrigerant stock to properly dispose of their material. We transfer the refrigerant from aging containers into larger and more secure holding tanks, to avoid venting.
We incinerate the refrigerant at an approved facility, certified to destroy at least 99.99% of the material to This generates carbon offset credits, which fund our ongoing work.
